Anybody else remember and love the ever cynical Dorothy Parker?

Quotes:

Brevity is the soul of lingerie.

If you don't have anything nice to say, come sit by me...

He is beyond question a writer of power; and his power lies in his ability to make sex so thoroughly, graphically and aggressively unattractive that one is fairly shaken to ponder how little one has been missing.

His body has gone to his head.

Look at him, a rhinestone in the rough.

The best way to keep children home is to make the home atmosphere pleasant--and let the air out of the tires

The first thing I do in the morning is brush my teeth and sharpen my tongue.

Young man to Dorothy Parker: "I can't bear fools."

Dorothy Parker to young man: "Funny, your mother could."

If you want to know what god thinks of money, just look at the people he gave it to.

That woman speaks eight languages and can't say "no" in any of them.

She ran the gamut of emotions from 'A' to 'B'

To Mrs Sherwood on the arrival of her baby:

"Good work, Mary,'' our Mrs Parker wired collect. "We all knew you had it in you.''

Summer makes me drowsy. Autumn makes me sing. Winter's pretty lousy, but I hate Spring.

Every year, back comes Spring, with nasty little birds yapping their fool heads off and the ground all mucked up with plants.

And others wittier and more risque that you'll ave to find for yourself

Okay Trekkies-Here is a new destination for us!

And the cave was featured in TNG!

Caves offer new tour -- in Klingon

Haha that's brilliant!

I'd also like to take this opportunity to say that the word filter here is funny. :P Things that here in England we'd never consider swearing/offensive are substituted. I presume this is due to cultural differences. I'm not complaining, I just found it funny to have my post altered. ^_^

I am so sorry that I have been missing for a while now, I have so much still to do and starting my new job takes so much time.

I used to tell everyone that I would never leave because I had no place else to go, but in truth I will never leave because i wou;ld miss all of my friends, my sisters and brothers and especially my children.

I feel very honored to have been given the name Momma Sally and I cherish it more than gold.

Just taken this opportunity to say I love you to everyone.

Oh Opal-I never knew you could be so cruel! And announce your genocide right here in open forum??

:blink:Poor helpless bugs! What have they ever done to you!

Hi JJ ! Well, it is actually herbicide, a mixture of 2-4D and Roundup. Nasty stuff. The County here was to keep a handle on certain noxious weeds that have a reputation for taking over land that is not treated. One has the choice of getting it done in some manner themselves, or the County comes in and sprays, then charges you an arm and a leg.

A lot of bugs probably do die either directly or indirectly from spraying this nasty stuff. I managed to take a tumble yesterday trying to pick up a really nice piece of Jasper/Flint I found. Landed on my back, and fortunately didn't hurt the sprayer. Also,the wand of the sprayer went off in a safe direction, so I did not spray myself with that nasty stuff. Hope to finish up on Friday, maybe for the year.

Hugs,

Opal

Message from a cousin I see once every couple of yrs in Canada. She sent this to me after I outed myself on facebook to all 50 friends.

You are who you are, and that's all you can be. It takes a lot of courage to confess to the world how you feel and what you need to feel complete and happy and for that I am proud of you! Stay strong, answers to all your questions will come in time, and we are all here to support you in any way we are capable.

*softly crying*

I cannot believe how caring my family is.

What you mean you've been practicing genocide on plants instead?? Poor plants!

:lol:

Just kidding all along. I know the realities of modern land management make such things necessary.

Oh-you say you didn't hurt the sprayer but how about Opal?? Landing on your back is not a good thing-I know. With so many things going well in your life you don't want to go hurting your back. Actually, I guess you don't want to injure your back no matter how things are going!

Glad you missed spraying yourself!! We're embarking on a dragon's gold quet in te holodeck and we need Opal all healthy o accompany us. Saving you a spot in the company.

Oh, thank you for your concern, JJ. My chiropractor and his wife are having their first baby any time, so I will wait until our next appointment to see him. Yes, that spray could easily blind a person, so I was very, very, fortunate there. Sorry I have been absent from the holodeck. Will try to get over there this morning.

Oh, Dee Jay! I would not intentionally hurt the Ladybuggs!

I even offer them sanctuary in a vegetable garden that has minimal weeding, and is kept moist most of the time. Huggs!!!

I had a wonderful evening. We went swimming at the lake as we do most evenings. It is a remarkably pristine lake -many miles long -encircled by mountains. We put our things under a huge tree and I skin dive.

Tonight when I came in from diving a family was picnicking nearby and shared huge slices of watermelon. So there I was was chest deep in this beautiful lake eating one of sweetest watermelons I ever had.

And I realized how happy I was right then. Those moments are so precious and rare when you are right there in the moment and happy.

There were no trans issues, no financial problems, no heat wave -nothing but my family the lake and the watermelon.

May each of you also find those little moments which renew your spirit and make you stronger to face your days and nights

Love

Thank you Opal. All my life i have taken these mental snapshots to take out and enjoy. Moments of simple pleasure. last night will be added to the list.

Others include standing on a peak in Colorado with cold air whipping around me and a view of creation spread below. Feeling strong and happy because I had made a long climb to be there.

Or standing on the cliffs and watching the waves crash after a storm on a night when the full moon lit the scene so brilliantly that there were muted colors in the sea and trees and shining white in the spray and foam.

Or watching a pod of whales sound off Orcas island while I sat in a dinghy nearby.

And the oldest and first-a sunset blazing all brilliant red and gold across the sky. Mesmerizing and awe inspiring. It brought tears to my eyes.

There are a few more. Each seemingly so small and insignificant and yet so profound in their beauty and simplicity.

Does anyone else hold these special moments to remember forever?? Captured as vividly today as when they happened?

What do you save within to cherish??

My life is filled with mental snapshots, the most vivid to me are from my travels.

Sitting on a cliff near Makapuu point watching the moon outline a cloud in silver with its reflection dancing on the ocean between Rabbit Island and the light house on the main Island.

Seeing a Humpback breech in the channel between Lanai and Maui.

The stars from the darkened deck of a ship on a clear night in the South China Sea.

That moment when Lizzy and I first met and hugged.

The first time I ever saw Donna Jean's face as she came up the stairs and the hug that followed.

These are a few of my favorites, of course my first meeting with Sarah F and then Pammy were among these even though we were in male mode - irreplaceable moments.

Love ya,

Sally

Wanted to give a w00t! to my three year old! She's potty training and last night was her first night in a long time without a pull-up, and she didn't wet the bed. ^_^

Seeing the multi-colored folds of the northern lights while at 40,000 feet over Iceland.

Flying past Fujiyama in both summer and winter and being able to see that snow cap and then bathed in brown...

Looking down into the beautiful island in Crater Lake in Oregon...

Ah, such lovely times...

Micha-a big congratulatory hug to you and your toddler-those milestones feel so good.

And cuddle her tight-everyone always says how quickly they grow and change-and it is so true. I love the 10 year old grandchild I have today but oh what I wouldn't give to snuggle that laughing little girl who believed in faeries again!

Sally and DeeJay-your special moments gave me beautiful images that brighten a drab day. Thank you so much for sharing them!

Memorable views. Well, lets see for me:

The Grand Canyon

The Pacific Ocean

The Atlantic Ocean

The Space Shuttle flying over Colorado on Decent

Cape Canaveral (Kennedy)

The view from atop Pikes Peak

Crossing the Mississippi River

Seeing Colorado from 45,000 ft on a clear day

Seeing the crowds at Colorado Springs Pride

Sorry about my mistake on the day for Transgendered Pride. I will post a reply to it tomorrow morning, and it should be good to go. Sorry if I gave anyone heart failure!

Today I bought a kayak. Just a cheapie, it's for paddling about in still waters. Still optimistic about seeing the sun this summer.

Today I passed a bicyclist. And with my usual eye, I noticed how wonderfully full and round the person's figure was from the back. As I passed, I realized that the rider was male. I thought, "Wow am I jealous!" maybe that's the secret to a nice posterior - massive cycling. Sigh...

Hi Kat

Unless you are cycling on completely flat terrain it is also the secret to massive calves. Guess there's a downside to everything. I rode my bike all over Denver for years-even to work-faster and cheaper than a car or the bus. I ended up fit but with calves like a weight lifter and couldn't buy my beloved boots off the rack anymore even though I was otherwise an ideal size.. Since I was living as a natal female I wasn't best pleased.

Enjoy your kyak-it sound like such fun! I'll send you some of our sun if you'll take some of our heat-108 degree heat index-and we live up in the mountains- with at least another hour of rising temps ahead. I am however counting my blessings-tomorrow is supposed to be hotter!

Hug

      Rants are not a problem.  My favorite hobby! :)   What's out there is bad enough that I wonder why some people feel they need to embellish it.  Be alert.   Some of this will need to be fought in court if they try to implement it. If people are out to get me, paranoia is justified.  And this may not be the only document.   Abby
    • Ivy
      Not in so many words, therefore it's not there at all.  Excuse my paranoia. And the states passing laws against us are nothing to worry about either. Having to change my gender back to male (like in Florida) is reasonable.  I should just accept it, I mean I was born with a dk.  So that "F" is lie, and a fraud.  My delusions need to be dealt with for my own good.   I'm just frustrated these days.  Just a bit of a rant.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      You probably remember the Target PR fiasco.  I remember reading an account from a woman who shopped there.  She went into a stall and did her business, and someone came into the bathroom and began swinging stall doors open, and when she came to her stall, the woman peeked at her through the crack. "What are you doing?" "Checking for perverts." The writer was so stunned by the absurdity that she finished up ASAP and got out of there, while the other woman entered a stall and locked it, made sure it was locked, and locked it again.

      Been a good day.Cleaned my closet of clothes that I do not wear anymore and do not fit me.It looks better now.Came down to my newest property beside mine,owner passed and I inherited it.There was a double wide there that was removed,it was in bad shape.It is the shop part I am keeping which I got the tools,shop equipment,benches,hoists and shelving too.

      Nothing about eradicating TG folk. 
    • Ivy
      If 9 out of 10 parts are ok, that doesn't mean I need to accept the bad parts (that are aimed directly at me).  That seems suicidal.
    • Ivy
      True, most of it has nothing to do directly with us.  It's the parts that do that are the problem.   I see the  few problematic statements as being a big problem.  Just because a lot of it may be okay, doesn't change that. Even supposing the rest of it might be good for the country, it doesn't help me if I'm being "eradicated".  I suppose I should be good with that, because it's for the "greater good".  If me being gone would please a number of people, then it's my civic duty to disappear, and vote to implement that.
    • Ivy
      Yeah.  There are already laws against assault.  I don't think the overwhelming majority of trans women have any desire to harass cis women.  Speaking for myself, if I go into a women's washroom, it's because my eyeballs are already floating - not for kicks.  And I worry about getting clocked and assaulted by some guy being a "hero."
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Only three, maybe four, sections even mention transgender.  Most is a conservative agenda I have no problem with.   In the sections that mention transgender, there are very few lines.  Those lines ARE problematic, in every case. Unequivocally.  I can't see some of them standing up in court.  In one case a recommended policy goes against a court decision, which strongly suggests the implementation of that policy would be stopped in court.    Anyone maintaining that this is written simply to support Trump, to support him becoming a dictator, to crush transgender people is feeding you a line.  Nor is it an attempt to erase transgender people.   People will have to decide if the overall goals are worth the few problematic statements.  Overall, I support it.  Of course, I have some reservations.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      It is unfamiliar, therefore threatening.   For 90% or so of the population, gender id can be simply and quickly determined by a quick anatomical observation.  They have no understanding and cannot imagine what it would mean to have a body different from the id.  It is unimaginable.  Therefore, wrong.   So there is this strong headwind.   I haven't entered this discussion, but here is a script: A: I can't imagine what it must be to have TG. B: You're a man, right? A: Well, of course. "amused" B: Imagine you were required by law and custom to wear women's clothing all the time. A: It wouldn't happen. B: Okay, but for the sake of the argument... A: That would be disgusting.  I would be very uncomfortable. B: You have it.  That is what TG people go through all the time. 24-7-365. A: Really? B: And then they are told they are perverts for having those feelings.  The same you just described. A: I see. B: And someone comes along and tells you you need conversion therapy so you will be comfortable wearing women's clothing all the time. A: I think I would break his nose. B: You understand transgender folk better than you think.

      I have found some people correlate TG = child predator ... just as some have correlated homosexual = child predator...    I am baffled by the TG = unsafe connection ... my wife tends to think this way, that this is all about sexual deviancy ... I try to ask how my preference for wearing frilly socks with embroidered flowers and a comfortable camisole under my lavender T-shirts is sexually deviant (or sexual anything) but I don't get very far... 
    • EasyE
      Best wishes to you as you take this step ... many blessings to you!

      Not sure.  The perp is a minor.  The problem here is NOT transgender, the problem here is incompetent and criminal administration.  See https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/family-of-loudoun-co-student-sexually-assaulted-ineptitude-of-all-involved-is-staggering/3231725/ It is more than annoying that people think the problem here is TG and that other people think the solution is some stupid statewide law.  Like an appendectomy to deal with an ingrown toe nail.    Since Loudon, I recall a boy was asked not to use the girl's restroom at a high school by one of the girls.  He, overwhelming her with height and weight,  assaulted her, claiming he had a right to be there.   Later I think eight girls beat him severely in another girl's restroom.  Again the problem is not transgender, the problem is assaults in restrooms and common courtesy.  TG is used as a smokescreen and it seems to paralyze thought among administrators who do not want to do anything to provoke controversy.

      Time to get with your Primary Care doctor and be referred to a neurologist or an orthopedist.  It could be many things, too many for any of us here to guess at. 
    • Mmindy
      Other than the Boy Scout motto, oath, and law. I use two:   When asked how I'm doing? In all honesty I reply. I would have to make something up to complain. If asked to explain further: I reply. I know someone is having a tougher time than I am, and I pray God blesses them.   I also recite this quote that I have tagged in my signature: Courage, doesn't always roar. Sometimes it's the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow."-Unknown    Saying these things daily keep me motivated.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
